NASA developing hypersonic technologies; flight vehicles only decades away

Photo description: An artist's rendering of the air-breathing, hypersonic X-43B -- the third and largest of NASA's Hyper-X series flight demonstrators -- which could fly later this decade. NASA will develop, test and fly the Hyper-X series over the next two decades to support development of future-generation reusable launch vehicles and improved access to space. Large 1250 x 951 (150)
